Yeah all the photos and film of Tiananmen Square are surely just propaganda right?

The crazy thing about Tianamen was that the Tank Driver stopped and tried to move around the protester.

It was a remarkable moment of humanity between two people who clearly did not want to be in conflict with one another.

I can't imagine a modem day officer treating any protesters the same way.

There’s a reason why the Chinese government censors mentions of June 1989 and the mass deaths due to famine during the great leap forward.

That's completely untrue.

Here is an exhaustive response from a Chinese national. Not only is it not illegal, its documented in Baidu, China's most popular social media site.

The claim that Chinese schools and leaders simply don't talk about the First Five Year Plan is entirely fictitious. On par with claiming Americans don't teach their kids about the Founding Fathers owning slaves.

It's pure Western propaganda.
